Autonomous System Confederations for BGP
RFC 3065, “Autonomous System Confederations for BGP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2001 by P. Traina, D. McPherson, J. Scudder. It obsoletes RFC 1965. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5065 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes an extension to BGP which may be used to create a confederation of autonomous systems that is represented as a single autonomous system to BGP peers external to the confederation, thereby removing the "full mesh" requirement. The intention of this extension is to aid in policy administration and reduce the management complexity of maintaining a large autonomous system. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
